Phase 2 of the website transition

UKRI’s new website launched in October 2020.

All the individual council websites, including Innovate UK, will continue to exist for the moment, but they will not publish new funding opportunities. These will be on the UKRI website.

The second phase of the website development will be complete towards the end of 2021, following a further stage of feedback and testing with users. This will include the full integration of the individual council websites into one overall site.

The new site will follow the Government Digital Service best practice standard for accessible user-friendly content. During development, an external provider was used to audit the site for compliance with accessibility standards. This included testing by users with access needs.
